Exciting opportunity

Nursing Standard is looking for an experienced news editor who can set the agenda with exclusive stories and build on the excellent engagement we have developed with our audience through our online content and social media channels.

This is an excellent opportunity to join an ambitious team at a time when healthcare issues have never been more prominent on the national agenda and delivering insightful content has never been more important to our readers.

You will have a great news sense, a passion for accuracy and know how to put together a formidable contacts list.

You will be skilled in the use of content analytics to help measure the impact of stories and understand your audience, and have experience in the use of multimedia and social media to cover and promote news.

• Provide leadership to the news team
